10 “On that day,” declares the Lord,
“There will be the sound of a cry from the (A)Fish Gate,
A wail from the [a](B)Second Quarter,
And a loud crash from the (C)hills.
11 “Wail, O inhabitants of the [b]Mortar,
For all the [c]people of (D)Canaan will be silenced;
All who weigh out (E)silver will be cut off.
12 “It will come about at that time
That I will (F)search Jerusalem with lamps,
And I will punish the men
Who are [d](G)stagnant in spirit,
Who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will (H)not do good or evil!’
